Speaker Pelosi reportedly told top House Democrats she doesn't want to see President Trump impeached: 'I want to see him in prison.'

Andrea Mitchell, Alex Moe and Dareh Gregorian

Politico did not characterize the full context or tone of Pelosi's comment, but a congressional aide who was in the room told NBC News that her remark was"consistent with her position that Trump needs to be removed electorally in 2020."also and two sources told the paper that the meeting was not particularly contentious and described Pelosi's comments as offhand.

“We just had a free discussion about what paths we might use to move forward, and there was no conclusion,” Engel told NBC News afterward.

I want him impeached

You need to join Hillary in fashion stripes. Lock them both in the same cell.

Mental patient

I would like to see Hillary Clinton in jail, since she broke the law, not an interpretation and investigation, broke the damn law. Destroyed evidence, lied, paid people to lie and proven.

And I would like to see you in prison.

She went from having a coconut for a brain to a tic tac. I’m sorry but somewhere she got slipped some money we want to see that also but it could happen if you start something and stop saying I’m looking for hard evidence and he doing it in front of the world

He will be way too busy to visit you, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

What a disgrace! Pelosi is the one that should be in jail for falsely leading the country I am the Congress down a path of distraction for this great America of ours

And the problem is What?

You should be retired before you have a stroke nancy

My sentiments exactly

Appealing to all progressives in the House, nothing I would want better than for Trump to be gone tomorrow but let's hold fire on any impeachment proceedings. Trump is doing enough everyday to indict himself. He is a pathogical liar. Prison is much better than impeachment!

seanhannity , as simple-minded and hypocritical as anyone on Fox, is saying how horrible it is when people call for the jailing of political opponents. This from the guy who didn’t stop saying “Lock her up!” about Hillary even after she lost in 2016.

She’s only saying that because she can’t impeach him ... he did nothing criminal either. That’s just her way of getting the scent off impeachment

MalcolmNance That is just a stall she will say anything to keep impeachment from proceeding.

MalcolmNance like what is the point of saying that? god almighty

Will Trump have time to visit her? Doubtful.

These representatives need to stick to content of their jobs and show some character/class wether in public or in private. Stop saying things that look and sound unprofessional or smart. Impeach this guy already. The public is get tired of all this. You have the evidence.

I agree. That would be great.

Millions of us want to see him in prison.

In 2020 you have to ask yourself do you want to be a part of the fake news media, violence in the streets ,open borders, hoaxes ,killing Babies after birth, A do nothing Congress, Communistic socialism , The taking of citizens guns ,Government overthrow ,Unconstitutional ism?

Something is wrong with Pelosi! Does she have Alzheimer’s?!?

SpeakerPelosi you are a national disgrace. The sooner you become the ex-House Speaker, the better off the USA will be. I wonder if you are investigated to see how you became a multi-millionaire in your years of public service, what such an investigation would turn up?

Poor thing is struggling with dementia obviously. It doesn’t matter at all what you “want to see” Nancy. The dumbocRATS and their fake news media enabler’s promised your constituency that Saint Mueller was going to “get Trump” and now Russian collusion is bust. What will you do?

This is probably the end of your speakership for talking like this, No one in Congress talks like this and a few expect people to follow you you're badly mistaken. You should seek mental health or some kind of aged development program. Your Judgment and your Speakership Dying!

This statement requires true context.

I can hope that the Dems. win the house and the senate along with the Presidency. to send this Bum where her belongs. In jail!

In prison for what?

She is headed there

AGREE

Time to retire Nancy

WeThePeople say,

MalcolmNance Well then imprison him for treason immediately. Please do your job without the politics and worry more about electing senators now!!!!!or a New Democratic President will have no power to undo trump.

There's news here somewhere.

I want to see SpeakerPelosi in A rehab! I don’t care if the video is tampered with or not. Her actions are that of someone with an addiction problem. Her and the rest of the democrats are nuts! They will be voted out!!

Truthfully, you can expose every bad deed by this jerk SpeakerPelosi without even sending to senate! You wouldn’t get enough support from those whack jobs they’re all caught up in his mess senatemajldr realDonaldTrump biggest loser ever to wear the title as President...

Saying is one thing doing what you say is what matters.

In our thoughts, we all would, but in reality and her responsibilities as a congressdotgov women, I think she's stepping over her mark. Talking to her voters is one thing, but she must uphold humility and integrity above all else.

HumanTrafficking

She said exactly what I've been saying.

Previously when pressed abt Trump's lawlessness, she said: 'I think we should wait on the Mueller report' She was hoping Mueller did something she wouldn't do. Mueller referred the matter to Congressional Oversight. Now SpeakerPelosi is saiding it is the job of the judiciary 🤬

Reality if laws were enforced every member of Congress would be behind bars.

Right direction

Right way because you have no chance to impeach him with this Senat! The Dems. have not enough seats in the Senat.

Oh I see. Beat him in 2020 then throw his arse in goal as a private citizen. (Along with his kids and anyone else remotely associated with him) The pressure to impeach will only continue to grow. You need to have a chat with your caucus and quiet them the f down. Just sayin.

Can WE the people get rid of the old dinosaurs in Congress AND in the White House and get all of the younger and BRIGHTER to run this Country. GET RID OF ALL OF THEM And put them in a rest home we're they ALL belong.....

MalcolmNance Nancy “Party over Country” Pelosi

Yep! Handcuff him and his cronies on the way out of OUR White House!

This is not about what “she wants.” This is about what the Constitution!

hear hear!

MalcolmNance , SpeakerPelosi an example of abhorrent behavior by GOP just look at the state of Missouri GOP have now put a rule in place for woman to have abortion. That must first submit to unnecessary pelvic exam. In my opinion it's state sanctioned sexual assault. Work on messenging

MalcolmNance and SpeakerPelosi I am so angry with you, and all the Democrats. The fact that your whole premise for not impeaching Trump, because it would make him stronger. Simply put it's laughable. GOP are doing so many egregious acts, that Dems should have no problem ousting GOP.

Trump for prison !🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

ImpeachTrumpNow DoYourJobNancy

how ironic

To quote our great POTUS “She’s a disaster”!

So sick of funding this bullshit

No impeachment, but in jail? She's really saying no, but offer up something that isn't possible. Nice, Pelosi is playing the shell game in real time.

Let's win in 2020 then prosecute for his Collusion with Russia in 2016 and his OBSTRUCTION since he got elected. Impeachment, if the Senate won't convict, will let him off the hook.

A little shaded here. She would most prefer to see him defeated at the polls. She would prefer him in prison, instead of impeachment. Impeachment is messy, and would divide us even more than we already are.

You do understand, don’t you, that an impeachment has to pass through the senate. A waste of time, and thought, by an actual small number of overreaching bureaucrats. 60 out of 433 is not an overwhelming number. But hey, the dems never let the truth stop them

So do we

He has something on her..

CNN TeamPelosi SenSchumer DNCFinally someone wants to hold the lying, ignorant, incompetent and felonious President accountable for his crimes and we should LOCK HIM UP! Thank you Speaker Pelosi.

Yes Nancy, please lock Trump Up!!’

MalcolmNance No one's doing anything to ensure safe elections in 2020. Putin will get him in. We can't wait. This is what the Blue Wave was all about.

IMPEACHMENT! She should follow advice.

Good luck with that. A President that hasn't done anything illegal, nor had any collusion is gonna be put in prison ? Really ? A President who has done more for ALL Americans since President Reagan ? It was the Democrats that need to be investigated for treason.

I have to agree with our President, you have totally lost it!!! WHY would you say such HORRIBLE things when the LEADER of our country is overseas?Don’t you even realize how vulnerable you make our country every time he leaves the country!! You don’t care about our citizens!

That’s lazy. False dichotomy. And she’s admitting he’s a criminal. DO THE RIGHT THING SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW ImpeachmentInquiry

Of course she does..... he is unraveling all the corruption that have made politicians like her rich.

And what would he be imprisoned for

Pelosi is deranged.

Well follow the constitution -- it's that simply. Constitutional procedures first then there shouldn't be a problem with you or anyone else retain your jobs.

MalcolmNance Me too

Delusional

Crumbs Pelosi... did you forget to take your dementia meds again today!

I AGREE WITH SPEAKER PELOSI

Absolutely horrible for her say this without explanation of FACTS! Treasonous comment when OUR President is in foreign soil! Shame on this 80 year old senile woman!

I’d like to see pelosi in a body bag !

Nancy, you have a better chance of going. POTUS ain't going

Both and stop dragging this on ugh...

I guess both is too much to ask?

No you don't!!!

Me too!!!!!!!

LOCK HIM UP!

SpeakerPelosi He has dodged everything in his life. Ask New Yorkers.

G O O D

And why, dear Nancy, can't we have both?

Aunt Nancy's going to jail.

SpeakerPelosi needs to do the job she was elected to do!

The left is so compassionate

The evidence may already have been scrubbed. There has been too much time without effective oversight and accountability.

📢 THEY’RE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE! IN FACT THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED!

Well then SpeakerPelosi you MUST start the IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY NOW the longer you wait the worse your chances will be .... get Mueller, get McGahn to testify and the chips will fall in your favor...time to STOP WAITING AND ACT !

Dirty dirty politics

If Pelosi can't run her own state how can she run a good sob demo party or the USA she needs to be impeach

Mexico MexicoTariffs

I don’t think he”ll visit her. I could be wrong

Have you confirmed, ⁉️ Just saw where this statement was taken out of context. Maybe you should delete this & check it out.

Put up or shut up, Nancy Pelosi. Enough of all this!

Pelosi trying to soothe the base. Perhaps the crying liberals don't realize the precedent they're setting for any future Democrat POTUS.....If any ever gets elected

As do I Nancy!!

I agree with her.

We want both.

Well you can’t have it the people voted him in not you

That's code for I'm not going to do shhhhhh

LOCK HIM UP.... HE SHOULD JOIN HIS BUDDIES IN JAIL... FAIR IS FAIR..

impeachPelosi. She's weak and not performing her duties. Or step down as speaker.

I'd like to see both.

And only one way before either of those happen so STILL. Can someone please start the impeachment hearings.

Out of office fine w/me! Bill Clinton impeached for lying assoc'd w/a quasi-affair w/a woman. Always believed polit mischief. Trump? Extra-marital affairsss; lying; unusual relationship w/Russians; refusal to comply w/ethics reqmts. Cruel 2019 govt shutdown to get 'Wall' $$$.

I want both

MalcolmNance I wanna see Nancy replaced by Maxine Waters 🤷🏻‍♂️

Be careful what you Prey For

No! If you give realDonaldTrump a chance to resign VP will pardon him. You must DoYourJob & Impeach!

Translation: She wants him dead.

Where he belongs

Same!

Passing the buck on to the courts does not solve our dramatic problem of abuse of the constitution.

she’s teetering on treason

Why don't you worry about the district where you live can't even walk down the street without stepping in a pile of s***

Please put that in context of what she said that just sounds coldhearted and that’s not what she was trying to get across

Both would be perfect.

Whoa! I just became SpeakerPelosi's BEST FRIEND! Except, I still think she is muddying the impeachment affair of Donald Trump atrociously! She turning a clear-cut moment in America's political life into a enormous MESS!Her path forward is clear: IMPEACH NOW! thedemocrats dnc

she just trying to distract them from the impeachment issue until after 2020. Look! a butterfly!!

Why not both?🤔

I’M WITH YOU ON THAT

MalcolmNance Seriously, I want to know. What if Trump is not impeached, doesn't get re-elected, and pardons himself before leaving office. Or he resigns on January 18, 2021 and Pence pardons him on January 19.

When the SDNY gets through with Trump, his sorry ass WILL be in prison. With this, the dolt Trump supporters can correspond with letters, visits, even conjugal visits as he screwed them in the free world and can screw them in incarceration.

You can help with both Madame speaker…

Do you think she will survive his presidency

She needs to lay off the Vicidin and Vodka.

realDonaldTrump RudyGiuliani Trump, Pelosi losing her mind,in one episode she said Trump cover up,another episode said Trump wants us to impeach him&now in her last episode Nancy says she wants to see Trump in prison.Make your mind lady what do you want?

why cover unconfirmed reports and closed door statements, can you use primary sources please and educate the public on the Mueller report and other important issues facing society instead of what someone might have said or meant. You have the resources to do better. Thanks.

And I want you in prison

Imprisoning political opponents is quite a socialistic move....

SpeakerPelosi Impeachment then prison. If you want to bring the people along, you have to show them Trump's crimes, in hearings, on TV. Start impeachment inquiries at least.

Pelosi will have to wait for a long time to have the authority to put Trump in jail. After the second term of Trump, Pence will have his own 8 years before there could be a chance for a dem president. I’m not sure Pelosi will be around that long.

MalcolmNance He will never serve a day for any federal offense. If he is rejected for re-election, he will resign before the new president-elect takes the oath, and interim President Pence will liberally make use of his power of pardon.

Cgiddy60 I want to see many in prison. Just not Trump or his people.

Empty words. If she doesn't want to impeach, a power that is within her purview, then she can be quiet about prison.

Impeachment and prison 👍

We can do both Madame Speaker!

We all do!

I would love to see him in prison but know it won't happen.

MalcolmNance She doesn't have the ability to imprison, she has the ability to IMPEACH. Work with what you have.

LandseerNewfie There’s probably a meme for that, Madam Speaker. Try it. See if you like the look, then unleash the State of New York on Old Trump. 👩🏻‍🦳🌊

Thats one delusional broad. Bawhahaha HittinTheBottleHeavy

Was she threatened or was she paid? Or both? .. to just block impeachment.

MalcolmNance Why not both?

'Nuff said! LockTrumpUp RemoveGOPsaveDemocracy TrumpCrimeFamily FBResistance DoNotImpeachLockHimUp

I want to know if Pelosi knew about this Russian scam on Trump Incase he wins the election, as a insurance policy. I also want to know , if Pelosi thinks it’s ok , to have the FBI warn Clinton campaign about Russia but not Trump campaign ? Was Pelosi in on this scam? Investigate.

Here’s crazy SpeakerPelosi

Then start the ball rolling Hon. Speaker.

He cheats and lies so much that chances are he will win the 2020 elections.

Bahwahahaha. Good luck waisting more time. Russia Russia Russia. What happened after 2 years of beating the liars drum. AMERICANS-ARE HIP

MalcolmNance I think someone who’s been in office for a hundred years has done considerably more damage than someone in 3? Maybe?

They can't do nothing with him he to many trying to keep him cover up because the Republican no anything was done to help them out and put them on top they no it was wrong they're not like the Republican in pass the Republican now are a dirty party

If our elections are not secure there is no guarantee that Drumpf can be defeated at the ballot box, so her explanation doesn’t hold up, this doesn’t pass the smell test, because if Drumpf thinks he got away with it, he will try it again

Don’t we all!

The Washington Post: Forget impeachment. Tee up prosecution. President Trump at the White House on April 18, 2019. (Carlos Barria/Reuters)

Impeachment would be a good start. Let the Congress do its job speaker.

Impeachment & prison; not mutually exclusive. Trump's crimes best fed to public via impeachment hearings. Senate conviction long shot but proceedings would force themto take public positions. Abiding Trump's obstruction & abuse of power until 2020 is politically/morally wrong!

On what charge? We just had 40 FBI agents, 19 Democratic lawyers, over 2300 subpoenas, 30 million spent and over 2 years investigating/colluding and looking for a Trump crime. Where is the evidence? What a bunch of idiots on the left.

So what happens if Trump wins in 2020 & the republicans win the house and they still control the senate? Do your job, Nancy.

MalcolmNance Nancy that’s not your call to make, whether to impeach or imprison. Your duty is to put the evidence before the People, and the House vote will decide. The People are not infants, stop treating us in such an infantile manner. You are not clairvoyant.

MalcolmNance

For what?

BOTOX BETTY HAS LOST HER MIND! THE POISON IS ERODING HER BRAIN!

BTW, Kornacki can stop his pathetic polling crap. After the 2016 election, no educated person would buy into it. Your math is all wrong. I just mute him now. Better that msnbc recognize the bad intel and fix the problem. Time for the big boy pants.

He'll come visit you SpeakerPelosi

All sane Americans should. Money crimes are long sentences in most cases. 👏👏👏

How many of our country's founding principles and constitutional laws will be destroyed while we wait for Trump to get his due?

Me too!

MalcolmNance Prison sounds like a good goal for this *President - he has been working really hard on it! Don’t forget you have to put the Congressional pedal to the metal to begin official impeachment inquiry and ramp up the speed of punishing those ducking subpoenas.

agreed. or a home for dementia patients. he can do what he does now and watch FoxNews all day long. DumpTrump TrumpCrimeFamily realDonaldTrump 25thAmendmentNow 🍄🤡👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

MalcolmNance Ok and ?

Me too Ms Pelosi!

EXACTLY!!!!! Criminals Are CRIMINALS And Belong In Prison!!!

MalcolmNance Me too!

Well you need to start ImpeachmentHearingsNow if this menace gets re elected then statute of limitations will be an issue DoSomething before it’s too late 😡SpeakerPelosi

MalcolmNance So do we.

She can't put him in prison. She can impeach him, though.

I thought that was what the impeachment process was supposed to allow. Once he's removed from office then court proceedings would begin.

MalcolmNance Why not both?

I trust Nancy! She knows what she’s doing. It’s her job and she is good at her job. Thank you Nancy hopefully this mess will be over soon. Because it’s getting pretty sickening.

MalcolmNance How brave

MalcolmNance This is like when the skinny goth kid at my school would get picked on and say 'I don't want to fight you, I KILL PEOPLE' and then people would laugh and walk away

We do too. And his little dogs too.

MalcolmNance Fine, then start the criminal proceedings now. Stop stalling. I mean NOW!

MalcolmNance That's the spirit!

Won’t ever see one day behind bars.😎

Stop the name cslling and get to work with he Republicans to fix the immigration problem and the homeless problem or congress should not get a pay check!

MarcusEdelstein Why is this news? More than half the citizens (those who bother to vote) want the same thing.

She is brain dead officially

Well that's good cuz most of America wants to see Pelosi and all the other Democrats in jail so I guess the feeling is mutual. What a POS

MalcolmNance YOU CAN DO BOTH!

MalcolmNance Mmmhmmm

MalcolmNance After the HOUSE DEMS talk to John Dean on a TV hearing, will it even be on TV?, they must talk on TV hearings to James Comey, then Michael Cohen, then Robert Mueller, then John Dowd for starters. Let’s go, what are we waiting for? maddow jaketapper Lawrence billmaher ABC

Considering his crimes as shown in the Mueller report, both impeachment & prison are appropriate

MalcolmNance How about both?

Welcome to the club Nancy.

Me Too SpeakerPelosi

I don't think they're mutually exclusive.

We should do both, impeach then prosecute Trump. Trump does not deserve freedom.. lock him up.

MalcolmNance Okay talk to me madam secretary I like what I’m hearing

MalcolmNance Yeah! I trust you Madam SpeakerPelosi but don't delay too much.

For what reason would that be ?

Trump is a boil on our country. The Democrats are allowing him to fester, rather than lancing the wound and draining the pus. The country will not heal, if the infection is not treated. ImpeachmentHearingsNow

Do both
